Unclean Slates: StoriesGollahon, Catherine 12 1900 (has links)
Unclean Slates: Stories is a collection of seven short stories that comments on the nature of family ties, and how such ties help form a sense of identity. Each story focuses on a separate protagonist, all of whom strive for a new beginning or an escape from some aspect of their current lives. The short story cycle of this collection is held together not by place or characters, but ultimately by the theme of wishing for a new beginning: they share a desire to fix some dissatisfying element of their lives. Mostly from the point of view of blue-collar characters leading mundane middle-class lives, these stories provide commentary on what it means to run from the conditions that make up one's sense of identity. Most of the revelations formed throughout these stories lead to a sense of acceptance of these conditions, and an understanding that family and history make up part of human consciousness.
While the specific locations presented in these stories are not necessarily the same, each story seeks to focus on a location that proves to be fundamental to the makeup of the protagonist. The cities and geographic locations themselves are not as important as the specifics: the schools, diners, lakes, and so forth where these characters find themselves contemplating their disillusionment about where their lives have brought them. Facing everything from postpartum depression to simply missing out on a career opportunity, these characters all experience a sense of loss that brings them together in a way that is recognizable to the reader as the collection progresses.

Publishing short stories : British modernist fiction and the literary marketplaceZacks, Aaron Shanohn 12 October 2012 (has links)
The short story was the most profitable literary form for most fiction-writers of
the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries because it was quick to write, relative to
novels, marketable to a wide variety of periodicals, and able to be re-sold, in groups, for
book collections. While the majority of writers composed short fiction within
conventional modes and genres and published collections rarely exhibiting more than a
superficial coherence of setting or character, modernist authors found in the form’s
brevity helpful restrictions on their stylistic and narrative experiments, and, in the short
story collection, an opportunity to create book-length works exhibiting new, modern
kinds of coherence.
This dissertation examines four modernists' experiences writing short stories and
publishing them in periodicals and books: Henry James in The Yellow Book and
Terminations (Heinemann, 1895); Joseph Conrad in Blackwood’s Edinburgh Magazine
and Youth: A Narrative; and Two Other Stories (Blackwood, 1902); James Joyce in The
Irish Homestead and Dubliners (Grant Richards, 1914); and Virginia Woolf in Monday or
Tuesday (Hogarth, 1921). For these writers, the production of short fiction within the
literary marketplace had definite and important consequences on their texts as well as the
formation of their mature authorial identities. (With the exception of James, I focus on
the early, most impressionable periods of the writers’ careers.) In bucking the commercial
trend of miscellaneous collections, the unified book of stories came to represent, for such
artists, something of a bibliographic rebellion, which, because of its inherent formal
fragmentation, proved a compelling and fruitful site for their exploration of modernist
themes and styles.
The conclusion explores some of the consequences of these experiences on the
writers’ subsequent, longer texts—Lord Jim, Ulysses, and Jacob's Room—arguing that
such so-called “novels” can be understood better if studied within the literary and
professional contexts created by their authors’ engagements with the short story. The
same is true of the “short story cycle,” “sequence,” and “composite,” as strongly-coherent
books of stories have been termed variously by scholars. This dissertation, particularly its
introduction, sets out to provide historical, material background for scholarship on this
too-long neglected literary genre. / text
